Single-segment speed run of Jak II on Hero Mode completed on June 30 2006. Available in six versions: normal/low quality DivX, and normal/high/insane/low quality H.264 MPEG-4. Author's comments: Thanks to Radix for all he does and thanks to Nate for putting up the partial Jak II run last year and for doing this run as well since it's long and in many segments. For starters, I am never doing a speedrun of this game again. There's a part of me that thinks at some point a person could do a... Topics: Jak and Daxter, PlayStation 2

Incomplete speed run of Jak & Daxter 2 for the PlayStation 2. Was disqualified for submission to Speed Demos Archive when the second of four source VHS tapes was lost in the mail. Author's comments: October 15, 2005 - Ben Fichter There are two reasons why I didn't do this run months ago: 1) I was afraid that it would be longer than 7 hours. 2) The game is difficult. Both reasons are why I did this in many segments. To gauge my time I would cross-multiply. I would take the overall percentage... Topics: Jak and Daxter, PlayStation 2

Sin & Punishment: Successor to Earth is an N64 title by Treasure previously released only in Japan, now coming to you from my television! Likened to by many to be the Ikaruga of the N64, this title highlights the strengths of the system in numerous ways, pushing it to the limit in terms of graphics, cinematic presentation, and gameplay. It is a game truely worthy of the title "the Nintendo 64's swansong". It also doesn't make a goddamn lick of sense. Original archived version...

Vectorman is set in a future where the Earth got so trashed that humans left the planet; robots (orbots?) were left behind to clean shit up so when the humans get back, the place is nice and neat (I was wondering where Pixar got the idea). While Vectorman was dumping trash on the sun, his supervisor was the victim of a workplace accident that caused him to turn evil and want to destroy the world or something.

Single-segment speedrun of the Truth and Reconciliation level (level 3) of Halo, performed on Legendary Difficulty. The biggest time savings came by grenade-jumping past the second floor; the trigger that causes the final cutscene to kick in is the death of all enemies on the third floor, but if you skip the enemy GENERATION step, the cutscene happens immediately. The run (by Cody Miller) was the level winner in a speedrun contest held at halo.bungie.org in the summer of 2004. Topics: Halo, Xbox, Halo: Truth and Reconciliation

ObsCure is a survival horror video game developed by Hydravision Entertainment and published by Microïds in 2004. It mocks the Teen Movie horror genre (ex: The Faculty) and each character you control is an stupid stereotype. The twist is that you manage two characters at once and each of them has a special ability. The other thing is that most of the monsters are fueled by Darkness, so you need to light them up before you can kill them. Original Archived Let's Play available at the Let's Play...

Hey everyone! It's the mid-nineties, and that new full motion video technology is taking the video game world by storm! All the experts are telling us that our silly old Nintendo and Sega games are going to fall by the wayside, and interactive movies are going to take over. If you want to get a taste of the future, you'd better get yourselves one of those CD-ROM based systems, like the Sega CD. Or even better, how about a 3DO Interactive Multiplayer from Panasonic?

Serious Sam is the best Doom since Doom. The game is all about fighting off dozens of enemies at once. It was developed by Croteam, the only Croatian game developers that anyone has ever heard of.

What is an anti-hero? A questionable figure seeking justice and trying to do the right thing, even when that right thing has a negative outcome? Maybe a tough as nails, loose cannon seeking to correct the wrongs of the world through extreme measures?

In 1991, Capcom released The King of Dragons, an arcade beat-em-up in which five generic fantasy warriors battle against the plans of Gildiss, the titular King of Dragons. It's a simple game, with only two buttons to use and many enemies of the "rush up and hit you" variety, but that helps to keep the action moving. Now, for your viewing pleasure, my brother Mini Rush and I present it to you.
